## Overview

`pyrage` uses the Rust `age` crate for its underlying operations, and `age` is vulnerable to GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.

All details of GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w are relevant to `pyrage` for the versions specified in this advisory. See GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w for full details.

Versions of `pyrage` before 1.2.0 lack plugin support and are therefore **not affected**.

An equivalent issue was fixed in [the reference Go implementation of age](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age), see advisory [GHSA-32gq-x56h-299c](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/security/advisories/GHSA-32gq-x56h-299c).

Thanks to ⬡-49016 for reporting this issue.

## Affected packages

- `pyrage >= 1.2.0, < 1.2.3`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `pyrage 1.2.3`
